what's the best way to clean a slate shower

[kathyskleening]

Hi, I need some expert help in knowing what to use to clean a slate shower. I needs to have the soap scum build up removed and probably hard water stains too. Then I think it should be sealed. Your quick reply is much appreciated. Thanks, Kathy

Any cleaner with a pH neutral (pH 7), that does not contain any abrasives, acids , alkalis, salts, phosphates, etc to clean is fine.

You are probably confusing the soap scum with Efflorescence (Mineral Deposits) a good link below on removal and treatment.

I can never figure out why people would put any stone in their shower.. Slate, Marble ect... Although, it does look pretty.
There are safe stone cleaners out there, check to see if you have a store in your area who sales and installs Stone, they have cleaners that will work. I use SCI....
